Summary: PROS We just bought the Strider last Dec. 2, 2008. The Nordic Track AudioStrider 800 was attractive in looks particularly the console where it displays the section of the body that would benefit most depending on the setup angle and resistance ... read more

Pros: = to about $ 20 per hour of use at this point.Cons: Needs power cord included, better fan, speakers, and construction

Summary: After buying this Elliptical I set it up. Wasn't too bad, I have lots of tool I had access to. This thing eats batteries, esp. if you use the built in fan. I agree this high price power cord I picked up at Sears for 20 some bucks. I got the little paper ... read more

Summary: I will agree that the price on this machine is decent and the elliptical path is very smooth (after some shimming and tweaking of the fly wheel casing). But, we have had to replace the foot bars twice since buying this one year ago. As another reviewer ... read more

Pros: Has an excellent feel in the stride which makes the workout actually enjoyable. Cons: Machine will break down after just a few weeks of routine use. Extremely frustrating!

Summary: I bought the AudioStrider 800 in late December 2006 and just after two weeks on this thing (5-day 45 minute workouts) the metal on the leg apparatus ripped apart breaking the wheel axis. I thought it was just my luck to have a defective part. I called ... read more

Pros: None (I can't get it to work)Cons: 6 weeks and still doesn't work. Support is terrible.

Summary: I bought it because it seemed to be the best machine available in it's price range. Friends have a similar nodel and love it, but their model is no longer available. I had to settle for a new model, made in China. I couldn’t find a store locally where ... read more

Summary: The first Audiostrider 800 we bought was the floor model at Sears. The program and display panel went out. So spent the extra money and bought one in the box. Beware, its very heavy. You will need help getting into and out of a pick-up truck and ... read more

Summary: Purchased my machine Jan 7th, thinking it would be good quality at an affordable price....WRONG!! The salesperson didn't mention that it doesn't come with AC adaptor. I was shocked that an $800 piece of equipment would be battery powered!! And they ... read more

Express Customer Reviews

Summary: I've had this unit for about 3 years. Only complaint: you need the adapter. If you put this together the right way you won't have "clunking". Nothing has broken for me, the thing is smooth and has a very comfortable stride. That's all I need. I use it, ... read more

Summary: This thing has broken so many times now. I had to have the whole control unit replaced, the bars that connect the arm to the feet replaced 3 times, got sick of that and had them welded when they broke for the 4th time. Now the bar that runs the length ... read more

Summary: Our Nordictrack elliptical machine has been out of service for a total of 3 months in the 2 years we have had it. The customer service is terrible and the warranty (third-party) is useless. The last time a repairman came to the house, he decided that ... read more

Pros: None. It has never worked.Cons: Customer Care should be called "Customer Don't Care!"

Summary: Well, I wish I could review my NordicTrack elliptical that I purchased 2.5 months ago, but I cannot. The machine did not work from Day 1 - the mechanism that changes the resistance did not work. I've called "Customer Care" every other day. I've had ... read more
